I wouldn't run an executable on your PC unless you are 100% sure it's safe.

Anyhow, go to my site. I created a blog post about installing DNN7.0 beta a while back and it still applies. It's on page 4 IIRC: http://www.markeckeard.com

I love and use MakeDNNSite for all of my testing and development.  It's an amazing installer.  Just don't use it for team development or production sites.

The steps you really should follow are in the community wiki.

However, it doesn't necessarily sound like you're following the wrong steps.  You might have an issue with your IIS installation.  I'd suggest reviewing it to ensure that you have all of the proper dependencies and/or try the WPI method of installing.

FYI - I know Mike van der Meulen (creator of MakeDNNSite).  He's a member of the ODUG and his installer is fantastic.  I keep it pinned to my taskbar.  :)
